The Web site Development Process
Domain Name
A domain name search is the first step in beginning the Web site development process. Domain names are akin to your company's address on the World Wide Web. Domain names consist of letters and hyphens and can be up to 24 characters long, not including http://www. For example, in the url address: http://www.d2m.com, the domain name is actually only seven characters (periods count) long; d2m.com. Domain names are registered through InterNIC, an agency in Washington D.C. that charges $50 a year to keep your name registered. d2m will search out potential domain names and then register the name for you.Web site Development and Design

After collecting materials, d2m's account executive will turn over the text and graphics to a professional Webpage designer for html coding and Web site design. He will create a concept look for the site, usually completing two of your Web site pages. At that time, your company representatives can look at the site and review its initial development. Once the Web site's design concept meets approval, the designer will complete the Web site. At this time, your company should carefully edit the Web site and provide d2m with any text changes. The designer will make the additional changes and prepare to ftp the Web site to your domain.
